9/3 O's at Red Sox

[PaulFolk]

Wow, this is a first. An O's game is going on as we speak, and not only is there no Game Thread, but nobody is even in the Game Thread forum. I guess we're all ready for this season to end.

Anyway, the O's have a 1-0 lead in the afternoon finale, thanks to a Coco Crisp error (is anyone watching the game and can elaborate on what happened?).

Markakis hit it deep towards the left center field wall and Coco had it in his glove and dropped it when bumping into the monster.

If Coco had caught it... would it have been a Sac fly with Roberts advancing?

What!!!! I had no idea it was an afternoon game. And my lab today from 1-4 was canceled. The baseball gods must have really wanted me to watch it.

[Frobby]

O's up 1-0 on an error by Crisp. What happened? (I'm following GameCast).

[PaulFolk]

Wow, Cormier mows through a perfect 1st inning, including a strikeout of Big Papi. That was unexpected, but I'll take it.

I got the day off today. Lucky me.

[Ruzious]

Making the Diceman work - 51 pitches through 2 innings - with the top o t' order coming up next innning. A good sign.

[mrbig1]

Good Inning.

Can't believe how dead this thread is. The Birds have a 2-0 lead against Dice-K and nobody seems excited. I guess the other possibility is people are busy working.

3 - 0. RBI ground out by Lou. Scott to third.

Clutch pop-up to shortstop by Cintron. Two out. Scott on third.

[Fred Manfraud]

3-0. After Scott RBI double, Montanez plates a run with a groundout … just in case anyone is actually relying on this to get updates …

EDIT: Beat me to it … I was thought I was all alone.

[porterhouse]

4-0 O's, 2 outs top of 4th. Lopez warming for BOS.

[sbauer]

4-0. Quiroz drives in Scott with a single.

It is pretty lonely in here.
